1c. grated Fels Naptha soap 1/2 c. arm & hammer washing soda 1/2 c. 20 Mule Team Borax I use an old food processor to grate the soap. I mix all the ingredients together and keep it in canning jars. I keep an old coffee scoop (1 T.) with it. I make several batches at once. I didn't want to...

The dishwasher recipe just didn't work for me. I use the laundry detergent dry. I have an HE machine and use 1 tablespoon for lightly soiled loads. 2 tablespoons for heavier. I have used 3 tablespoons for REALLY nasty farm clothes (think cow poo). I'm not sure how that translates for the...

Same thing happened to us. They usually charge a small amount first (ours was like $2) then if it goes thru, they charge large amts. Ours were overseas internet purchases (airline tickets, hotel rooms, and I couldn't tell what the other was, it was something in France). I caught it shortly...

So sorry to hear this happened to you. I have to agree with Free...tomorrow may be a different story. We were rear ended once, not even near the severity of yours. As a matter of fact DH told the guy since there was no damage to either vehicle and everyone appeared OK, not to worry about it...

Reinbow, got my coupon too. Expiration date is end of this month. So don't hold on to it too long! :D

Farmer Kitty, Where did you take your pics at? They look very much like the ones around us.

Oh FC, I'm so sorry to hear that. But girl, you'll do what you have to and be fine. Will say a prayer for you all. Hang in there!

Amen, and Amen

That is SO TRUE. I find it scary, and intriguing. But then I can see all the adoration for what it really is and means.......for anyone else who knows, that is all I have to say, you all KNOW too! ;)

Until more proof is shown to the contrary, I must say I side with Homesteadmom on this. It also really bothers me when people say he is the first black president. He is the first BIRACIAL president ( I don't know about any of the others that were mentioned). The man is just as white as he is...

I ordered my gamma lids from them. They seemed to have the best price, and I did a LOT of searching! I had no problems at all. Got my stuff fairly quickly and have been using my gamma lids.

Our well water has that metallic taste/smell and occasionally a sulfur smell. I prefer not to drink it right out of the tap, even though it was tested safe. We have a PUR filter. The one that sits on the counter top. Fill it up, the water trickles thru the filter. We try to keep it filled...

What a relief for all of you. So happy you were blessed with great news! :weee
